Strange to shuttle when you have an outboard.

We floated from Riley's to Norfork that day.  No shuttle for us at least. 

Ham made Cody stop sitting and dancing around on the front deck.  Besides owing Ham for taking care of me, I also owe Jeff for loaning me a hat.

I tripped on the gunwale and tried to fall out of the boat at Norfork.  Cody and Ham caught me and about made me faint due to the shoulder thing.

The things we remember.  Fondly now.😎

Buffalo shoal??

Between Riley's and Norfork.  Where exactly I can't say.  Didn't know that river at all on that day.  First trip float fishing there ever.

Ham mailed that hat back to me.  Sadly, it got wore out and is probably buried in a landfill somewhere.  BPS doesn't carry that hat anymore which makes me unhappy with them.

Rick, Ham and Cody in action Jigfest 1

There's my hat!  Notice the appropriate camo pattern it had for a snow covered landscape.  I'm sure Rick caught a lot of fish that day as the fish would not have been spooked by seeing his giant head looming over them.

Late reply here.
Had a terrific time this year fishing and meeting up with everyone. The Food was awesome. I didnt take any pics this year. Worked on my boat (added a front centerline bunk) Thurs morning and fished solo at at Wildcat in the evening.

Met up with @gotmuddy and had Thai for dinner then Fished Reds on Friday, Met his lovely wife at the Mexican restaurant. We caught lots of fish. I forgot my rain gear and wading boots in Iowa so we had to make a stop at wally world that morning. Cody and I discussed my cursed ADD - I think we align here somewhat.

I left the new rain gear and some new cheapo waders down at the shop so when I pull that bone head move again I'm covered. (I did this on purpose - not because of the ADD)

Struggled with the front articulating bunk again even after adding a center bunk. Going to replace the front articulating bunk with a V roller so the bow eye does not get hung up due to all the weight from the accessories installed (big problem on steep ramps).

Fished Wildcat Sat with @JestersHK and @BrandonSTL. Boated lots of fish. DJ hooked up on some dandies. I think the M&M peanut spitting failure on my part kept me out of the big fish. Either that or I forgot to bring the Twinkies... who knows. The big fish mojo was not on me that day but still a blast. We boated lots of fish at Reds, then on to Rim.. Watched Brandon eat some rainbow eggs , then finished up at Wildcat. A great time and glad I got to fish with DJ, Brandon and Cody!

Looking forward to doing it again!!!

I got some stuff in my shop my grandpa used to sell.  Swepco 503, it will work wonders on those carbs.  I’ll try to dig up a bottle 

I have a case of b12 carb cleaner, it works amazing.

 

I thought it was buffalo shoals?  I have slept since then.
